Afternoon games by the beach were fun and it was kind of weird having downtown Singapore as the backdrop. In spite of our best efforts to wear out the children with activities including a nature hunt, tug of war and a bonfire, they managed to run riot until at least 11pm, before then all waking up at approximately 6:45am. Sleeping in dormitory 16A was hot and uncomfortable, especially when the girl on the bunk above mine woke at 3:30am and started chatting to her neighbour. Every little movement she made was transmitted throught the whole bunk bed. Sunday morning we enjoyed an early walk along the water's edge before returning to the camp for pancakes and fruit. More beach games and swimming then followed, with the girls building a great sand castle. After the ferry trip back to Singapore, I was well and truly ready for a long nap! Alice and Felicity both enjoyed themselves and were a pleasure to be with. It was a fun weekend.
What a brilliant idea Dads and kids camp is! We have some very clever mums at Avondale Grammar, don't we? I used my time alone to do a Thai cooking course at Fort Canning Park with some friends from the condo. Mmm delicious!
